The storm has brought people closer together with rescuers sometimes going out of their way to help trapped individuals. In Wenzhou city of east China's Zhejiang Province, Gong Mengmeng, a pregnant woman, was saved after a group of more than 20 rescue workers took her to a local hospital, where she gave birth to a baby boy. She lives nearly 100 kilometers away from the local central hospital in Wenzhou city. And the mother-to-be chose to call the township police station. As the storm continued roaring, there were landslides everywhere, making it impossible to drive. Rescuers carried Gong Mengmeng on a stretcher for more than eight hours to get to the hospital. Normally it only takes an hour and a half.
